Thanks, that works but it's 3 clicks from the desk top, IE> Tools> Windows Update same as Start> Windows Update> Maximize. I'm after the 2 click luxury you enjoy, Start> Windows Update, but if this my worst PC problem I consider myself lucky. One other minor annoyance I have is not being able to change the icon of the shortcut to the Control Panel that I keep in my Quick Launch tray. I can't replace the Windows XP default icon, a white square with a check mark inside, with the old default icon, a folder with a hammer on it. Even after right clicking the icon and selecting properties then "Change Icon" and selecting the old icon that I want the new icon remains. I can change it to any other icon just not the one I want. I think the problem is both icons have the same name. Changing the name of the icon I want would probably solve my problem but I don't know how to do it. Again, this a minor annoyance but it's still really bugs me.

I finally got Windows Update to open full page! The solution is embarassingly simple. Like I said before maximizing then closing then reopening didn't work, but clicking the edges and pulling them out to full screen does work. The Control Panel icon thing is still eating away at me though.
